More Bunny Bonanza!

Hello! Have you been following along with all of the Bunny Bonanza fun on the A Muse blog and A Muse lounge? The creative team members have been bringing you inspiring Easter ideas this week!

The projects below have appeared on the A Muse blog over the last couple of days, but I thought I'd provide a little extra detail about them here.



I was really happy with how this card turned out. First, I love the chiffon purple, green and brown combo! I was going to just color Chocolate Bunny with Copics, but then I noticed my petite chocolate gingham paper and thought it would be kind of fun and different to use that.



I used a lot of gingham papers on my Easter projects. It's such a tiny pattern, it doesn't overpower small images, I love that! I find that a little strip is just what a design needs sometimes.

After I stamped my bunnies, I did a little green swish with a small sponge applicator.



If you want your bunnies to be white, but not just look uncolored, try outlining them with a light color. I used a BG10 copic here, but you could use any light color copic, or ink and a watercolor or blender pen.



To add some dimension here, I paper pieced the basket and added a little fringed grass. The oval stamp anchors the image so it's not floating in space.



I love all of the adorable images that Missy Ballance illustrated. I'm picky about my "critter" images, and I just love hers! I made a mask on a post-it note so that the grass could appear behind the bunny.



After the card below posted on the A Muse blog, I noticed that Novell had previously made one that was super-similar. Great minds think alike! ;) The image and color scheme isn't super girly, so this would be a good design for boys.



Thanks for stopping by!
